An angel on his two knees, arms stretched towards the red sea; of violence and a sultry tongue.

[Shedding light]

Band:
after EW sort of disbanded, hy joey and me tried to revamp TRC and played together for awhile, plans to make it big and what not. i'd just want to let joey know that me and hy we did not give up, we just had major exams that'd determine our fate in the future when you said " i want to create 3 originals by january " it sounded too much like a rush. We had to do our revision and etc so we neglected the band altogether for a few weeks. But maybe it turned out to be good, you found better bandmates and got to do what you wanted do . wish you all the best and hope Ashdown will shine for the gigs. always will remember the good times during sec4 (:

Dota:
it was never about a single match. it was about the overall and the future prospects of our team. we didnt even have a main team, most of the time it was the 3 or 4 of us, me ck yy + hy or zy. yy and ck i know we have been playing alot together. hy being the outgoing kind , would never want too much to do with dota, so must thank him for helping to play matches and the CoT compy. zy i dunno why most of the times we never play togehter, maybe you were playing AI lol. i guess we had our share of competitive dota, for me i am going on a indefinite hiatus, maybe occasionally playing some pub games. maybe next time if we get to meet talents then reform a dota team and take part in compys again. taking some time off dota will also actually let us know how much time we spent on dota, and we can use this "Extra time" to go out and do other stuff lor, then it wont seem like we dotaed our hols away. our skills wont fade overtime, even if you dont play for super long, you come back and play for 1 week you regain everything. anyway thanks pat for trying to encourage us, appreciate it when you tell me about what i told you. haha was touched. you are, allowed to look down on me, for now, if there is a next time we'll come back and rape your dota team =X

this post is just to help events that were without an ending find an ending.

p.s to DA GANG : we need to go out more already, remember the times after sec4 o levels. YEP now no more dota can go out and have fun together! and maybe find work bah.

[CNY]

hi everyone and happy chinese new year! kinda late but its the thought that counts! so been busy collecting ang paos and gambling these few days. unfortunately this years CNY has not been very exciting compared to the previous years, less activities, less ang paos =( also CNY has affected my mood to dota, been playing very little dota, and even if i play i played pub instead of matches. hmm that's ok, at least i got to see all the cute kids during CNY. love bonding with them!

ytd : watched ghost rider and wasted time at gym. the movie abit lame ah dont watch unless youre rich.

today: went to play mahjong, won abit, and yy once again said the ownage statement : "i am going to quit gambling for this year" . any doubts? =x

thats about all, hope tmr will be a great day and lets hope next year's CNY will be more exciting! cyas

[DOTA]

this entry is dedicated to one of the greatest games : DOTA =p been playing this game for so darn long that i can kill myself 12times in a row =.=" ok lets first talk about the different kind of roles for dota.

Early gamers a.k.a supporters : These heroes are usually strong and prominent during the early stages of the game, they tend to be the ones to determine winners of early engagements. however, most of these heroes become of less and less impact as the game drags on, usually after 45mins they are rendered "useless" and tend to be the ones warding and sacrificing for the late gamers. usually under-rated, most people dont recognize the contributions of a supporter, mostly due to lack of understanding of the way the game works. however i think good supporters are key to providing a good late game and is crucial for winning the game.

Disablers a.k.a catchers : Heroes with slow,stun that usually starts the ganging process after the supporters ward up the map. disablers/catchers are usually played by people who can read the minimap well, as well as have the "sixth sense" and also requires a good deal of communication skills.

Late gamers a.k.a farmers : Usually played by good microers who can control their lanes, at the same time read minimap to escape from backstabs. given the role of playing the lategame, they are entitled to farm for the whole of early game. usually over-rated, everyone wants to play late gamers because who doesn't want to have 5 divines and run around killing opponents like ants and having tripple kills yelled at you all the time.

talking about team play, i am actually kinda new to playing the team style, been only like a year since we started playing draft matches ? before playing draft matches, i think i was foolish to think that individual skills are more important than teamwork. me and wanny, used to play like 1v5 or 2v5 sometimes 3v5 (plus clan leader) in bnet, every victory and kill was meaningless as it only contributed to our ego needs =p it was only after i started to play as a team that my concept of dota changed. i realized that the beauty of DOTA actually lies in teamwork. the way series of combos are played out well by the team is actually so priceless. so, lets move on to the people that i get to DOTA with regularly.

Patrick (sorry just couldnt resist talking about you first)
One hell of a good team player. very team oreintated, does his homework well and also the guy who does alot of communication within his team. but i think you really become blur when playing under stress? although we keep calling you feeder or what not, i want you to know that playing support all these while and your sacrificing for the team spirit will not go forgotten, at least not by me. just learn how to play under stress LOL

Yiyong
Also another support player, although sometimes you contracdict yourself or just oppose anything we say, but i think you had the intention of helping the team grow. Values teamwork, also another person who is always playing the warder&backstabbing role. Also the stunt man, always trying all the idiotic stuff. i seriously think that his VS is one of a kind. ok so yy is the pacc pro, so i'll tell you in the pacc way : "Principle of Conservartism", sometimes we chiong/bs halfway you can sense that the chance is gone just abort and wait for a better opportunity! i know you hate the effort going down the drain thing but it is better to "Leave the Green Mountain Here, Not Scared No Wood Burn" ok translate that into chinese. ^^

Chunkit
The lategamer boy, used to play permanent viper and qop. but dunno why now pangseh his viper already. Likes to farm, store alot of gold then go back buy big items to pwn opponent's butt. Good individual skills. Lacks communication though, ok lah your personality is the silencer kind so cannot blame, but try to talk more! we love your voice/words ROFL. yeah baby continue to farm ftw hmm did i mention that we love your voice/words?? LOL

Huangyong
Ok he's the 2nd in terms of seniority as 3 blind mice. HJ, HY, HP. this huangy is blind always ppl talk to him he never reply one. ok he is actually i think a good player (individual skills) but maybe he lacks exposure cuz he plays lesser. but i think skype has solved his blindness (IM BLIND NOT DEAF) woooot i wanted to say that for awhile now. PLAY MORE!! SCREW THE OTHER 2 BLIND MICE AND STEAL THE WHOLE COM FOR YOURSELF is all i can say.

ZhengYang
The rhasta lover. hmmm this guy ah, sometimes will be discouraged when his frag is negative, it happens all the time dude, and it's nothing wrong to be negatively skewed. don't let the frag take out the hope in you, for they say, you can take everything from a man but you can't take away hope. good micro skills. play more!! play less cs and AI and play more irc =p

ok thats about all the people that dota regularly + will read this blog. remember guys, everytime we say something about each other, be it negative/positive, it is often not personal and is just targeted at the directed area. Known each other for so long, surely we don't get offended by constructive critisism although none of us are always right. we know right? boys can start arguments and fights but the next day we will be back refreshed and brothers again. the purpose of this post is a tribute to DOTA, and also to the people around me, we play as a team, win/lose a team and grow together as a team. compys here we come!

Note: The above opinion(s) are based on my personal view. nothing is accurate or the truth so people who read this please DONT FLAME ME :D

[Screw the title]

ello! just came back from shopping today, unfortunately didnt buy anything.

yesterday was dota/standardmap madness, played and kept losing, so in the end very sian and decided to go the goats house to milk him and have fun togehter. then milked him til he was dry, slept, next morning, went to cinne e2max to watch capl finals. they telecasted the zenith vs nightmare (3rd/4th placing) match instead of the 1st/2nd placing match. weird right? guess zenith really has some influences in the dota community. not bad, zenith was really good with teamwork ; they won with techie drafted LOL. "team nightmare must really be having a nightmare" okay, so wanny's team won the 1st place ^^ congrats. and shan showed us who's who of zenith. hahaa lux is really cute like a big bear. think he should use sylla instead of vs =x

later on went to shop, walked thru town again, and even paragon, IN SLIPPERS. wtf sia i hate going out in slippers, wore them to zy's house then didn't have time to go home to change then had to wear slippers to town... like sian1/2 already the mood. ah, need to buy clothes for CNY ah!!
To buy list:
Wallet
Bag
Watch
White Long Sleeve
White Tshirts
Jeans
Etnies Shoe
